The incident happened on January 4 in the city of Bolzano, Italy. More than two months later, the 30-year-old recognized the crime during questioning and gave details of what happened.

After refusing to walk the animal, Benno had an intense exchange of words with his father, who blamed him your little collaboration at home. Angry, he fell asleep in his room. However, Peter woke him up and made another claim, this time for money: he wanted him to make a bigger contribution to the rent or move downstairs. At that time, he said, had a fit of rage.

“We were in the lobby. We fell to the ground together. I don’t know if I strangled him from behind or from the front. I just remember I squeezed so hard“Admitted Benno Neumair, according to the version revealed by Corriere della Sera. After that, the boy sat down in the hallway, and when his mother came home, he also hanged her without saying a word.

Her sister, Madè Neumair, who lives in Germany and communicates daily with her parents Peter and Laura, was alarmed that she had not heard from them and reported his disappearance. Two days later, local authorities opened the investigation, with Benno as the prime suspect: their versions did not close and Madè also revealed that he had a very confrontational relationship with his parents. In addition, we knew that had other episodes of violence both with his ex-partner and at work and that he used anabolics, which changed his character: he had been interned in Germany and was diagnosed personality trouble.

On January 29, Benno was arrested and on February 6 his mother’s body was found in the Adige River. For several days he insisted on his innocence, but eventually he collapsed and admitted double murder. During questioning he said that he killed both parents with the same rope then loaded them into the trunk of the family car, only to throw them into the river. Although Peter’s body has not yet appeared, near where they found Laura, they did see traces of blood and one of her shoes. Benno is being held in Bolzano prison.
